A/N: as an answer to a question posted by CursedAngelOfSephiroth

"But the Highwind? I thought the Lifestream

busted it up. Unless you had Cid make another, in which case, it's all good."

As an answer to your question though it got caught in the middle of the Lifestream it was not destroyed. It is shown at the very end where Cid swears and pulls an emergency lever transforming the Highwind into a plane. That's all I wanted to say now onward with the chapter.

P.S. Oh the Turks are going to show up in the later chapters too. ^__^

Chapter Five-A Day at the Gold Saucer/Cloud's Proposal

It was back to square one it seemed as the group settled down into the old house from Cloud's childhood. After a few moments of silence Cait Sith piped up

"So what're we gonna do? Just sit here and mope?" Aeris rose and said

"Cait Sith's right, we should do something!" Barret grunted

"Yeah what would that be? Going to the Gold Saucer and having a good time on the rides they got there s'pose." At those words a smile crossed her fair features, which didn't escape Barret's eyes.

"Yo I was jus kiddin!" She shook her head and said

"I knew that but it appeals to me, I mean come on, we should loosen up a little bit. Mom always said, that if you continually worry about something, you'd never have room enough in your head for an answer. However if you relax yourself and have a little fun, then the answer might come when you least expect it to."

Tifa snorted at this comment, Yuffie jumped at the proposal.

"I like it, I'm with Aeris!" Cloud and said

"It makes sense, besides Aeris hasn't been with us for a while, so let's go, at least for her sake." Tifa gritted her teeth and shot a venomous look at the flower girl. Aeris squealed and jumped into his arms, which only resulted in Tifa's anger rising to its absolute peak.

"Then it's settled, let's go to the Gold Saucer!" she cried out with a child's joy.

******

The park hadn't really changed in appearance, only the fact that there were more rides and attractions. The new squares were

"The Food Square" and

"The Thrill Square" Somehow looking at that name, gave Cloud a cold feeling of dread. Aeris however, not knowing about the truth of him, grabbed him by his arm and dragged him towards it,

"Come on, I wanna see the news rides!" Tifa scowled and stormed off to the Battle Square, Vincent following close behind. Cait Sith headed off to the Wonder Square with Cid, and Barret. Leaving Yuffie and Red XIII to the Round Square.

******

Cloud stared at the tall winding ride with unease as Aeris bought the tickets.

"Dear God no." he whimpered as Aeris pushed him along to one of the cars. T was too late to turn back no. Saying a silent prayer, he clutched the sides on his seat as the ride shot off.

******

Tifa slammed her fist into the final opponents face, her face red, her teeth clenched, anger boiling throughout her. She stormed out, yanking the ticket out of the wall. She glanced it over and then started to walk away

"Are you sure you don't want to spend any of these 234,666 Battle Points?" said a low voice. She turned to see Vincent standing there, the ticket in his hand.

"Positive." She growled. Shaking his head, he placed a hand on her shoulder and said

"Tifa you are filled with rage. Is it because of Aeris?" She stopped and sighed, turning back to him.

"It's not fair Vincent I had him first, I should be the one who gets him."

"Had you no opportunity to tell him how you felt before he first met Aeris?" She was about to reply when a thought crossed her mind. How many times had she and Cloud been alone that she could've told him? Ten or more? So now since his heart was given to another, she was throwing fits of jealousy, and childish temper tantrums, because she had been foolish and never seized the chance to tell him. She had always thought there would be time. Time had long since run out a voice in the back of her head told her. Lowering her head she nodded

"Yes." She raised her voice, "Yes, hundreds, maybe thousands of opportunities and I delayed, I thought I'd always have time on my hands. Now look at the result. His love is with another woman, and I should let him have what he wants. Let him be happy with the one he loves, even if it's not me. He…" she paused and continued, tears starting to form," he should have what he wants not what I want. I should let him have that." She broke down into sobs, crumbling onto the floor, catching the attention of all the bystanders. A man in his late twenties, with chocolate brown hair, and vivid purple eyes, walked up and said

"What happened, what's wrong?" Tifa continued to sob, Vincent slipped away unnoticed as the bystander continued to talk to her.

"Hey' it's ok, come one I won't bite just tell me what's the matter." She wailed in response. He turned to the others, lifting him into her arms,

"Ok folks shows over go back to where you were." Cradling her in his arms like a baby, he sped off down to the Food Square, trying to think of some way to calm her down.

******

Cloud clung to the railing outside of the ride The Terminator he'd just been on. God he would rather have his spinal cord ripped out and jump rope with it in the nearest freeway than go on another ride like that again. Aeris was beside, wiping his forehead with a small napkin.

"You ok now?" He nodded and said softly

"Yeah and Aeris I wanna ask you something." She nodded and said, sitting down on a nearby bench.

"Go on." He knelt before her; a small box in one of his hands while the other was on one of hers. He took a deep breath and said

"Aeris I want you to know that I love you more than the air I breathe, the water I drink, more than my life itself. I would be overjoyed if I had the one final piece to make me complete." He opened the box, slid a small ring on her finger and said

"Aeris Iflana Gainsborough, will you marry me?" She lifted her head, her eyes meeting his.

"I…don't have much I can offer you but one thing…my last name." She smiled, tears flowing freely as she leaned close and said

"How can I resist?" He held her close and they stayed that way, a vision of love to all those who were there.

End Chapter Five.
